Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present two petitions, both on the subject of firearms control.
The first petition asks that Parliament support laws that will severely punish all violent criminals who use weapons in the commission of a crime. It also asks to support new legislation that recognizes and protects the rights of law-abiding citizens. It further asks that legislation be supported that will repeal and modify existing gun controls which have not improved public safety or have proven not to be cost effective.
The second petition on the same general subject area asks Parliament not to enact any further firearms control legislation, regulations or orders in council.
